Tacos: In cup, combine oil, thyme, garlic, salt and pepper; rub over swordfish. Prepare medium-hot fire on outdoor grill or preheat broiler.

Grill or broil fish 4-6 minutes per side, until just cooked through. Remove to cutting board; let rest 3 minutes. Halve steak lengthwise; cut cross-wise into ¼" slices.

Place fish slices down center of each tortilla; top with lettuce, tomatoes and cilantro; spoon on some salsa. Fold to form soft taco. Serve with extra salsa.
